Re: One more thing: weapon shelves
Posted By: Jabberwok <funkycaribou@aim.com>	Date: 2/10/13 5:46 p.m.
In Response To: One more thing: weapon shelves (Dervish) Yeah, the focus on headshot weapons has bothered me for a while. I know a lot of people seem to like that, but Swat gametypes always annoyed the crap out of me. Even when I managed to be good at it, it was still incredibly boring. All of the variety disappears and the game devolves into an aiming simulator. Some balancing really needs to be done to encourage actual variety, instead of just adding more versions of the same weapon. Though I guess this has kind of been the case ever since the pistol in CE, but it seems like it's gotten worse over time. : I agree with everything in this post, although I'd add that the assortment of : precision-type and machine gun-type weapons makes multiplayer more : interesting than Reach (where the DMR was clearly the best gun for every : situation and nobody bothered picking anything else up). At least in Halo : 4 I'm fighting carbine guys and BR guys in addition to DMR guys. :p : Related to the Forerunner tech issue, the Promethean weapon shelves have : bothered me since my first playthrough. I know they serve a useful purpose : in gameplay, but it still seems out of character for these guys to stack : their guns up in a locker instead of downloading them from the Domain or : something. : What I'd do is have Forerunner weapon shelves appear as holographic symbols : along walls. When you get close to them (or maybe with a press of X) : they'd materialize into guns hovering on mini anti-grav platforms. With : experience you'd learn which holosymbols indicated which weapon type. Same : gameplay function, but more in keeping with the "beacause we : can" nature of other Forerunner structures.
